The authors of the present study not only question surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis use based on data presented here and in literature, but suggest that the prophylaxis is perhaps indicated primarily in selected groups of patients undergoing cesarean section. Further research with greater number of patients and evaluated risk factors are fundamental for better understanding of the causes and evolution of surgical site infection after cesarean delivery.

Objective: To establish NANDA International nursing diagnoses (NDs) in hospitalized patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), undergoing hemodialysis, using risk factors and signs and symptoms described in nursing developments. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study, with a sample of 98 hospitalized adult patients with CRF who were having hemodialysis. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records, and analyzed statistically. RESUMENObjetivo: Establecer los diagnósticos de enfermería (DEs) de acuerdo con la NANDA International en pacientes hospitalizados con insuficiencia renal crónica (IRC), sometidos a hemodiálisis, a partir de factores de riesgo y señales y síntomas descritos en evoluciones de enfermería. Méto-dos: se trata de un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo, realizado con una muestra de 98 pacientes adultos hospitalizados con IRC y en sesiones de hemodiálisis. Los datos fueron recolectados retrospectivamente en historias clínicas y analizados estadísticamente. Resultados: Se identificaron tres DEs reales y cuatro de riesgo: Volumen excesivo de líquidos; Náuseas; Dolor agudo; Riesgo de infección; Riesgo de glicemia inestable; Riesgo de desequilibrio electrolítico y Riesgo de desequilibrio del volumen de líquidos. Conclusión: Estos DEs permitieron conocer mejor a los pacientes durante la sesión hemodialítica pudiendo subsidiar el cuidado de enfermería. Descriptores: Diagnósticos de enfermería; Diálisis renal; Insuficiencia renal crônica; Pacientes internos

Empirical treatment for UTI in pregnancy should be started according to the susceptibility patterns described in the literature and re-analyzed after the results of the urine culture.

Congenital syphilis (CS) is a preventable epidemic disease for which control is hindered by socioeconomic and health system issues. Inadequately treated maternal syphilis (MaS) commonly has serious adverse obstetric outcomes. This study - which is a cross-sectional study in a Brazilian large urban public Mother and Child hospital, making use of secondary data - evaluated the occurrence of treatment of sexual partners (SP) among women with MaS. The results showed that 771 MaS cases were identified from 2007 to 2014. No information on SP treatment was available in 570 (73.9%) cases. Of the 201 cases presenting information, 25 (12.4%) SP were treated. Out of 164 women having six or more prenatal visits, 25 (15.2%) SP received treatment. Data analyzed biennially have shown a growing trend of cases without collected information, ranging from 27.2% in 2007-2008 to 87.5% in 2013-2014. No linear trend in proportions of treated SP (maximum 7.4% SP treated) was found. Thus, in this study, it has been concluded that the proportion of SP adequately treated was consistently low, and the quality of information deteriorated during the studied period. Prenatal care per se, as provided, was not effective in delivering adequate treatment of SP. Creative integrated services with SP active participation are greatly needed if CS is to be controlled.
